15. Nonuse Periods - Unplug the power cord from the

AC power outlet when (eft unused for a long

period of time.

16. Damage Requiring Service - Service must be

performed by qualified service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been

damaged; or

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled
into the instrument; or
C. The instrument has been exposed to rain; or
D. The instrument does not appear to operate

normally or exhibits a marked change in
performance; or
E. The instrument has been dropped, or the

enclosure damaged.

17. Servicing - Do not attempt to service beyond that

described in the operating instructions. All other
service should be referred to qualified service
personnel.

18. Grounding or Polarization - Do not defeat the

inherent design features of the polarized plug,
Non-polarized line cord adaptors will defeat the
safety provided by the polarized AC plug.

19. CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO

NOT USE THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN
EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER

OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY
INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system

installer's attention to Article 820-22 of the NEC

that provides guidelines for proper grounding

and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground
shall be connected to the grounding system of

the building, as close to the point of cable entry

as practical.

The lightning flash with arrowhead, within an

equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to
the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage"

within the product's enclosure that may be of

sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric

shock to persons.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO
USER-SERVICABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING

TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle

is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the

appliance.

The serial number, purchase date, and Mclntosh

Laboratory Service Contract number are important to

you for possible insurance claim or future service.

Record  t h i s information here.

Service Contract Number

Upon application, Mclntosh Laboratory

provides a Service Contract to the original
purchaser. Your Mclntosh Authorized

Service Agency can expedite repairs when

you provide the Service Contract with the

instrument for repair.
